Causes a panic attack

There are a lot of triggers for a panic attacks, but essentially, all panic attacks are caused by a state of someone being either out of control in a given situation, or by feeling physically threatened, particularly when situations are unstable or unknown/strange. The triggers vary widely by culture and society, but those are the hallmarks across all the different landscapes. Sometimes the trigger is real to the person launching into the attack, but to those around them, the cause of the attack is unknown, unperceived or unacknowledged. Remember, when a person is heading into a panic attack spiral, they probably won't know why, and won't tell you what is putting them there. The key is to know what your environment holds that will likely ignite the spark of an attack.
